API Manual
Audience
This is a technical manual aimed at IT personnel involved in integrating merchants' systems with those at Adyen.
The latest version of this document is available here:

General Tips/Warnings
Defensive Programming
Adyen strongly recommends the use of defensive programming when integrating with the Adyen Services. This implies
that automated decisions programmed into your systems should be defaulted to non-delivery of products and services. In
other words, program your systems to only deliver products and/or services after receiving an explicit authorisation of the
requested payment and NOT to deliver in situations where an explicit rejection is not received.

API Manual
1. Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide you with the ability to submit payments to the Adyen Payment System using an
API rather than the Hosted Payment Pages (HPP). Due to strict industry regulations the API is only available to merchants
who have full Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)1 compliance and fall into either the Level 1 or Level
2 categories. Furthermore, certain implementations of the API may require that you process minimum annual transaction
volumes. Please contact an Adyen sales representative for more information regarding the API and transaction volume
requirements.
While there are signifcant benefts to using the HPP rather than an API there are some situations in which it makes sense
for you to capture the payment details and use an API to submit these to Adyen. If you do not have full PCI DSS
compliance Adyen also ofers the ability to process payments using Client-Side Encryption, this is covered in more detail in
section 2.3.
In the following sections we will cover how you can submit payments to our platform using either Adyen's SOAP or REST
APIs. Details on how to submit modifcation requests is covered in the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual, this can be
found here:
https://support.adyen.com/links/documentation
Please note that the ability to process API payments or Client-Side Encryption is not enabled by default, please contact the
Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) if you would like to have this functionality enabled for you.
It is important to respect the DNS Time-To-Live (TTL) when communicating with Adyen. Some frameworks, Java in
particular, cache DNS lookups by default. Adyen routinely changes their DNS confguration and, if your implementation
caches the DNS lookup, your ability to submit modifcations and/or payments may be impacted.
This document is an addendum to the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual and will reference, without citation, concepts
explained there.
Adyen has code samples in various programming languages available for your reference; these can be found here:
https://github.com/adyenpayments

API Manual
?q=adyen is a variable Name (q) / Value (adyen) pair that lets the service know information about adyen needs
to be queried and returned to the requesting service
An important component of REST is that it is stateless in nature. Each request from client to server must contain all of the
information necessary to understand the request, and cannot take advantage of any stored context on the server. Session
state is therefore kept entirely to the client.
1.2.1.
The Adyen APIs are mapped from the SOAP felds to REST Name/Value pairs. Adyen provides an easy testing option via a
regular web browser showing a default form for the variables. Please refer to Appendix A for the URL of the HTTP
adapter.
The following screenshots show how it is easy to make test payments.
1.
When accessing the HTTP Adapter URL in a browser you will be prompted to log in:

3.
Insert
the payment
variables, including your specifc account details and the relevant felds for the transaction type and click the
submit button at the bottom of the page:

The browser communicates the values as HTTP Name/Value pairs and the response to the request is displayed
in the browser:
8 / 67
API Manual
merchantAccount
The merchant account for which you want to process the payment.
amount
A container for the data concerning the amount to be authorised. This should contain the following items:
currency
The three character ISO currency code.
value
The paymentAmount of the transaction.
Please note, the transaction amount should be provided in minor units according to ISO standards;
some currencies don't have decimal points, such as JPY, and some have 3 decimal points, such as BHD.
For example, 10 GBP would be submitted with a value of 1000 and 10 JPY would be submitted as
10.
reference
This is your reference for this payment, it will be used in all communication to you regarding the status of the
payment. We recommend using a unique value per payment but this is not a requirement. If you need to provide
multiple references for a transaction you may use this feld to submit them with the transaction, separating each
with -.
This feld has a maximum of 80 characters.
shopperIP (recommended)
The IP address of the shopper. We recommend that you provide this data, as it is used in a number of risk
checks, for example, number of payment attempts, location based checks.
shopperEmail (recommended)
The shopper's email address. We recommend that you provide this data, as it is used in a velocity fraud check.
Please note, this feld is required for Recurring payments.
shopperReference (recommended)
An ID that uniquely identifes the shopper, such as a customer id in a shopping cart system. We recommend that
you provide this data, as it is used in a velocity fraud check and is the key for recurring payments.
Please note, this feld is required for Recurring payments.
fraudOfset (optional)
An integer that is added to the normal fraud score. The value can be either positive or negative.
merchantOrderReference (optional)
The reference to link multiple transactions to each other.
selectedBrand (optional)
Used with some payment methods to indicate how it should be processed. For the MisterCash payment method
it can be set to maestro (default) to be processed like a Maestro card or bcmc to be processed as a MisterCash
card.

API Manual
When comparing the SOAP felds and HTTP felds they are exactly the same. Typically it is just one feld with the same
name, but more complex structures like the amount will be rendered in two individual felds:
SOAP representation of an amount:
<amount xmlns="http://payment.services.adyen.com">
<currency xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">EUR</currency>
<value xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">500</value>
</amount>
2.1.2.
2.1.3.
expiryMonth
The expiration date's month written as a 2-digit string, padded with 0 if required. For example, 03 or 12.
expiryYear
The expiration date's year written as in full. For example, 2016.
holderName
The card holder's name, as embossed on the card.
number
The card number.
cvc
The card validation code. This is the CVC2 code (for MasterCard), CVV2 (for Visa) or CID (for American
Express).
If the message passes validation a risk analysis will be done and, depending on the outcome, an authorisation will be
attempted. You will receive a response with the following felds:
pspReference
This is Adyen's unique reference that is associated with the payment. This is guaranteed to be globally unique
and is used when communicating with us about this payment.
resultCode
The result of the payment. The possible values are Authorised, Refused, Error or Received (as with a Dutch Direct
Debit).
authCode
The authorisation code if the payment was successful. Blank otherwise.
refusalReason
Adyen's mapped refusal reason, populated if the payment was refused.
Please refer to Appendix B and Appendix C for examples of SOAP and REST API requests and responses.

API Manual
2.3.1.
To implement CSE, you will need to follow this high level process:
1.
Build and host the credit card payment form on your servers.
2.
Ensure that the card felds have the attribute data-encrypted-name instead of name; the use of name may
result in the raw card data to be posted to your servers.
3.
4.
Set the Adyen public key and tie the Adyen library to your form.
2.
Encrypt the card felds in-browser using a per transaction unique AES key.
3.
Encrypt the unique AES key with your RSA public key, Adyen retains its private counterpart.
4.
Send the encrypted data, containing the card and encrypted AES key, with the other felds in the form via the
server-to-server API.
Please note, the encrypted data must not be stored on your servers or be available in your logs as this would be a
violation of PCI regulations.
11 / 67
API Manual
2.3.2.
There are two additional felds that will need to be passed in the authorisation request:
generationtime
This feld is used to determine the validity of the payment request, any transactions submitted after 24 hours of
this time will be refused. The format for this feld is the ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ . For
example, 2013-11-15T13:42:40.428Z. This must be generated server-side as the client (browser) may not have
its system clock synchronised which could cause the payment to fail.
adyen-encrypted-data
This feld is used to transmit the encrypted to Adyen.
Please refer to Appendix G for a SOAP CSE example and to Appendix H for a REST CSE example.
2.3.3.
The public key is tied to the WebService user you will be using to submit the API payment request, as described in section
Error: Reference source not found. If a key has not previously been generated, you will see an option to Generate the
key. The generated key is pre-formatted for easy insertion into your page.
2.3.4.
Is CSE Secure?
The CSE solution uses only PCI/NIST approved cryptographic algorithms. The RSA key is 2048 bits and is unique to your
user account. Per transaction the client will generate a unique AES (256bit) key which is used in CCM mode for both
encryption and authentication.
The Public Key (RSA) can be downloaded from the Adyen CA.
The Secret Key (RSA) is only known to Adyen and stored in encrypted form on Adyen's servers.
The payment authorisation is done over the server-to-server Adyen API using the encrypted card.
The encrypted data is only valid for a period of 24 hours and tied to your public key. It is of no use outside of this
context.
12 / 67
API Manual
2.3.5.
Main Benefts
Stateless, synchronous processing; the solution does not rely on a session token.
3D Secure.
Recurring.
Installments.
Risk/Fraud Detection.
Your Merchant Account needs to be confgured by Adyen to support 3-D Secure. If you would like to have 3-D
Secure enabled please submit a request to the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com).
2.
Your integration should support redirecting the shopper to the card issuer and submitting a second API call to
complete the payment.
The initial API call for both 3-D Secure and non-3-D Secure payments is almost identical, however, for 3-D Secure
payments you must supply the browserInfo object as a sub-element of the payment request, this is a container for the
acceptHeader and userAgent of the shopper's browser.
SOAP example:
<browserInfo xmlns="http://payment.services.adyen.com">
<acceptHeader xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">text/html,application/xhtml+xml,
application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8</acceptHeader>
<userAgent xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0</userAgent>
</browserInfo>
SOAP example:
paymentRequest.browserInfo.acceptHeader=text%2Fhtml%2Capplication%2Fxhtml%2Bxml%2Capplication
%2Fxml%3Bq%3D0.9%2C%2A%2F%2A%3Bq%3D0.8&paymentRequest.browserInfo.userAgent=Mozilla%2F5.0+
%28X11%3B+Linux+x86_64%29+AppleWebKit%2F537.31+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%29+Chrome
%2F26.0.1410.63+Safari%2F537.31
Once your account is confgured for 3-D Secure, the Adyen system performs a directory inquiry to verify that the card is
enrolled in the 3-D Secure programme. If it is not enrolled, the response is the same as a normal API authorisation. If,
however, it is enrolled, the response contains these felds:
paRequest
The 3-D request data for the issuer.
md
The payment session.
issuerUrl
The URL to direct the shopper to.
13 / 67
API Manual
resultCode
The resultCode will be RedirectShopper.
The paRequest and md felds should be included in a HTML form which needs to be submitted using the HTTP POST
method to the issuerUrl. You must also include a termUrl parameter in this form which contains the URL on your site that
the shopper will be returned to by the issuer after authentication. We recommend that the form is self-submitting with a
fallback in case javascript is disabled. A sample form is shown below.
<body onload="document.getElementById('3dform').submit();">
<form method="POST" action="${issuerUrl}" id="3dform">
<input type="hidden" name="PaReq" value="${paRequest}" />
<input type="hidden" name="TermUrl" value="${termUrl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="MD" value="${md}" />
<noscript>
<br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: center">
<h1>Processing your 3-D Secure Transaction </h1>
<p>Please click continue to continue the processing of your 3-D Secure transaction.</p>
<input type="submit" class="button" value="continue"/>
</div>
</noscript>
</form>
</body>
After the shopper authenticates at the issuer they will be returned to your site by sending a HTTP POST request to the
TermUrl containing the MD parameter as explained previously and a new parameter called PaRes. These will be needed to
complete the payment.
To complete the payment the following parameters should be submitted to the authorise3d action:
merchantAccount
This should be the same as the Merchant Account used in the original authorise request.
browserInfo
It is safe to use the values from the original authorise request as they are unlikely to change during the course
of a payment.
md
The value of the MD parameter received from the issuer.
paResponse
The value of the PaRes parameter received from the issuer.
shopperIP (recommended)
The IP address of the shopper. We recommend that you provide this data, as it is used in a number of risk
checks, for example, the number of payment attempts and location based checks.

API Manual
2.5. AVS
Address Verifcation Service (AVS) is a security feature that verifes the billing address of the card holder. It does so by
comparing the numeric portions of the card holder's registered billing address to those entered by the shopper. AVS is
only supported on a limited set of acquiring connections, card types, and only for a limited set of countries (United States,
Great Britain and Canada).
To use AVS you must supply the full address of the shopper using the billingAddress sub-element of the card element.
<billingAddress xmlns="http://payment.services.adyen.com">
<city xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">Burbank</city>
<street xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">South Buena Vista Street</street>
<houseNumberOrName xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">500</houseNumberOrName>
<postalCode xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">91521</postalCode>
<stateOrProvince xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">California</stateOrProvince>
<country xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">US</country>
</billingAddress>
Please note:
If you are submitting the billingAddress object all the sub-elements are mandatory, if some felds are not
provided you will receive an error response.
The country value must be provided as the 2-character ISO country code, for example, GB for the Great
Britain. An invalid country code may result in the payment request being rejected. The full list is available
here:
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements
The various card brands and networks have their own specifc AVS response codes; these are mapped to
Adyen's generic response codes that are sent to you by default. If you would like to receive the actual
response from the card or network, please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) to have the
Raw AVS Reason enabled for you. This will be included in the Notifcation that you receive.
It is possible to test the 27 diferent AVS result codes. If the street feld of the billingAddress element has the value Test
AVS result you can specify the avsResult value in the houseNumberOrName feld. Note that all other billingAddress felds are
still required but their values do not impact the avsResult that is returned.
Please refer to Appendix L for the complete list of AVS result codes.
SOAP billingAddress element:
<billingAddress xmlns="http://payment.services.adyen.com">
<city xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">Burbank</city>
<street xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">South Buena Vista Street</street>
<houseNumberOrName xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">17</houseNumberOrName>
<postalCode xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">91521</postalCode>
<stateOrProvince xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">CA</stateOrProvince>
<country xmlns="http://common.services.adyen.com">US</country>
</billingAddress>
15 / 67
API Manual
2.6.2.
It is possible to test the 7 diferent CVC/CVV result codes. You will need to use one of the Adyen test cards that includes a
CVC and instead of inputting the CVC, enter the code you want to simulate.
Please refer to Appendix L for the complete list of CVC/CVV result codes.
SOAP card element:
<card xmlns="http://payment.services.adyen.com">
<cvc>004</cvc>
<expiryMonth>06</expiryMonth>
<expiryYear>2016</expiryYear>
<holderName>Adyen Test</holderName>
<number>4111111111111111</number>
</card>
REST card element:
&paymentRequest.card.cvc=004&paymentRequest.card.expiryMonth=06&paymentRequest.card.expiryYea
r=2016&paymentRequest.card.holderName=Test+Tester&paymentRequest.card.number=5555444433331111
Please note, when testing the CVC/CVV results it is important to ensure that you are using one of the test card numbers
that requires a CVC found here:
https://support.adyen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/11/0
2.6.3.
It is possible to test Refused transactions and their specifc Refusal reasons by placing the following text in the Card
Holder Name:
[Response code] : [The refusal reason raw String that is tested]
For example:
DECLINED : 05 : ISSUER_UNAVAILABLE
REFERRAL
ERROR
BLOCK_CARD
CARD_EXPIRED
DECLINED
INVALID_AMOUNT
INVALID_CARD
NOT_SUPPORTED
NOT_3D_AUTHENTICATED
NOT_ENOUGH_BALANCE
16 / 67
API Manual
APPROVED
Please note:
There is a limit in characters of the Card Holder Name. The result may be:
DECLINED : 05 : ISSUER_UNAVAIL
You may have to lower the risk score for non-alphabetic characters in the card holder name as the ':' character
will trigger this check and may cause the payment to be declined with reason code "FRAUD".
An incorrect CVC or invalid expiry date will override the response code and always lead to a generic
"DECLINE".
PreAuth
Flags the payment request to be handled as pre-authorisation
FinalAuth
Flags the payment request to be handled as fnal-authorisation
You can also request to have a default authorisation type for all your MasterCard transactions at a Merchant level, to do
this please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com).
2.9. Installments
Some Acquirers, most notably in South America, support installments whereby the shopper is not charged the full
17 / 67
API Manual
payment amount in one charge, but is split at specifed intervals over a fxed period. Please contact the Adyen Support
Team (support@adyen.com) for more details about the Acquirers that support this functionality.
To support installments an additional object must be submitted in the authorise payment request:
installments
A container for the installment data.
Please refer to Appendix L to review a payment request with the number of installments is set to 4.
Please note, Adyen provides a WSDL that contains the installments feld; you can fnd this in Appendix A.
2.10.
If required, extra response felds can be added to the SOAP response in the additionalData object; these are not enabled
by default. Please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) if you wish to enable this for your Merchant
Account.
authCode
The authorisation code if the payment was successful. Blank otherwise.
cvcResult
The CVC result of the payment; please refer to Appendix M for the list of possible values that my be returned.
avsResult
The AVS result of the payment; please refer to Appendix M for the list of possible values that my be returned.
referred
When the payment is referred the value of this feld will be true; otherwise the feld will not be available. Please
note, this is not typically returned for eCommerce transactions.
Where available, you may choose to receive the raw results that we receive from the Acquirer. This is an extra setting that
must be enabled for your Merchant Account by the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com). The setting will add the
following felds to the additionalData object of the SOAP response.
cvcResultRaw
The raw CVC result received from the Acquirer where available.
avsResultRaw
The raw AVS result received from the Acquirer where if available.
refusalReasonRaw
The raw refusal reason received from the Acquirer where available.
18 / 67
API Manual
3. One-Click Payments
One-Click Payments can be used to allow repeat/known shoppers to pay without re-entering their payment details. The
shopper can be given the opportunity to store their payment details when they frst pay and is able to use these details
for subsequent requests. For One-Click Payments the shopper will have to enter their credit card's CVC. Currently OneClick payments only work for Card payments.
Please refer to the Adyen Recurring Manual for more details regarding managing and submitting Recurring payments.
The initial payment , or subsequent payments with diferent details, are processed as normal payment requests as
described in section 2. The only diference is the addition of the Recurring object to the payment request, and that the
shopperReference and shopperEmail felds are required.
The Recurring object contains the following felds:
contract
This should be set to ONECLICK.
recurringDetailName (optional)
A short description entered by the shopper to identify their payment details. For example, My wife's
MasterCard.
When submitting a payment using a payment detail returned from listRecurringDetails, you generate a normal payment
request which follows the same rules as the initial payment, meaning that the shopperReference and shopperEmail are
required and that a Recurring object should be present and contain the value ONECLICK for the contract feld. However, the
recurringDetailName should not be supplied.
One additional feld is added to the payment request:
selectedRecurringDetailReference
This is the recurringDetailReference you want to use for this payment, the customer will need to provide the CVC
for the selected card and so the value LATEST cannot be used.
In the case of a card payment you should supply a card object in the payment request with only the cvc feld and value
populated.

API Manual
Refund an existing transaction for an amount exceeding the original transaction amount. This does not require
you to know the card details, only a reference to the existing transaction.
2.
Directly deposit funds on a card without an existing transaction. This requires you to submit the card details and
is much like the process for submitting a direct payment.
Both methods are disabled by default. Please contact the Adyen Support Team (support@adyen.com) if you would like to
submit card deposits.
To deposit an amount using an existing transaction send a FundTransferRequest using the fundTransfer action containing
the following felds:
merchantAccount
The merchant account the original payment was processed with.
modifcationAmount
The amount to deposit. This consists of a currencyCode and a paymentAmount4. The currencyCode must match the
currency used in the original payment.
originalReference
This is the pspReference that was assigned to the original payment. It is received with the payment status or with
the authorisation notifcation.
reference
Your reference for this payment. This reference will be used in all communication to you regarding the status of
the payment. We recommend using a unique value per payment but this is not a requirement.
shopperEmail (optional)
The shopper's email address.
If the message is syntactically valid and the merchantAccount is correct, you will receive a response with the following
felds:
pspReference
A new unique reference Adyen has assigned to identify this deposit. This is guaranteed to be globally unique and
should be used when communicating with us about this payment.
response
If successful, this value returned will be [fundtransfer-received], if unsuccessful an informational message will be
returned.
Please note, that [fundtransfer-received] does not mean that the card deposit was successful, it means that Adyen has
successfully received the message. The actual transfer is executed ofine and the fnal result communicated using a
notifcation, please see Section 4.3 for details.
The process to directly deposit funds on to a card, without reference to an existing transaction, is similar to submitting a
payment to the API, please refer to section 2. The request is exactly the same as for a payment request but the request is
submitted to the refundWithData method rather than the authorise method.
Please refer to Explanation of the Session Fields section in the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual.
20 / 67
API Manual
Notifcations for card deposits, using both methods, are the same as for payments but the eventCode is
REFUND_WITH_DATA, please refer to the Notifcations section in the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual for more
information. As with regular payments you should check the success parameter to determine if the deposit succeeded.
21 / 67
API Manual
bankAccountNumber
The US shopper's bank account number, this is a numeric feld.
bankLocationId
The shopper's bank transit routing number, a nine digit number leading zeroes should not be stripped out.
bankAccountType
The value 'C' for a checking account or 'S' for a savings account.

cause the transaction to be processed as WEB recurring and MOTO transactions will be processed as TEL.
Please refer to Appendix N for a sample SOAP & REST ACH Payment request.
5.1.2.
ACH Response
The response for ACH payments is similar to card payments, however an authorisation code is not generated or returned.
5.1.3.
ACH Chargebacks
ACH payments may be reversed by the account holder after settlement, which will result in a payment status of
Chargeback. The process is comparable with a Credit Card chargeback but without the ability to defend against the
dispute.
22 / 67

The payment request will include the bankAccount container that contains the following elements:
iban
The IBAN.
bic
The unique identifcation code for both fnancial and non-fnancial institutions.
ownerName (optional)

SDD Chargebacks
The chargeback process is standardised for all SEPA DD variants. The SEPA DD schemes ensure more protection and
refund rights for consumers:
The shopper can have the authorised SEPA DD payment returned within 8 weeks.
The shopper has 13 months to report incorrect unauthorised SEPA DD with their bank and request a reversal, as
the debit was not authorised or the mandate was expired or had been cancelled.
Both scenarios result in a payment status of Chargeback. The process is comparable with a Credit Card chargeback but
without the possibility to defend against the dispute.
bankLocation
The city in which the bank (branch) is located.
bankName
The name of the bank.
bankLocationId
The location ID (Bankleitzahl) of the bank.
accountHolderName
The name of the account holder.
bankAccountNumber
The account number (Kontonummer).
26 / 67
API Manual
bankAccountNumber
A numeric feld for the Dutch bank account number which is either a 9-digit account number that complies with
the Dutch elfproef5 or a Postbank number (see below).
ownerName
The bank account holder name.
bankName
The feld is set to 'ING' for ING (or former Postbank) accounts, for non-ING accounts the feld is optional but we
recommend that it is provided.
countryCode
The value 'NL'.
Please note, Direct Debit payments were formerly submitted to the directdebit action rather than the authorise action.
The directdebit action is deprecated as of January 1 2011, but will be maintained until further notice for backward
compatibility.
Please refer to Appendix Q for a sample SOAP Incasso Payment request.
5.4.1.
Incasso Response
For every transaction submitted you will receive an authoriseResponse, for all transactions that are successfully submitted,
Adyen will return a value of Received in the resultCode feld; this is not an indication that the transaction was successful,
just that Adyen has received the request.
For bank account numbers that are invalid, blacklisted or otherwise not acceptable, there are two possible responses:
In the case of an invalid bank account number or an invalid message, a SOAP exception will be returned.
A resultCode of Refused in the situation where a fraud check was triggered, the response will contain the refusal
reason FRAUD.
If the account number is accepted and the resultCode is Received the transaction will be submitted, by Adyen, to the
banking network in the next Incasso batch, the cutof time for inclusion in the batch is 12pm CET. It is not possible to
schedule Incasso payments for later processing.
When the batch is submitted to the banking network every transaction can end up in one of two statuses:
Authorised immediately followed by SentForSettle, followed by Settled: The transaction is accepted, the money has
been received by Adyen, and will be settled to the merchant.
5.4.2.
Incasso Chargebacks
Incasso payments can be reversed by the account holder up to 30 days after settlement, which will result in a payment
status of Chargeback. The process is comparable with a Credit Card chargeback but without the ability to defend against
the dispute.
5.4.3.
The consumer's statement will contain Adyen's bank account number and the name ADYEN. The actual account holder is
5

API Manual
the Adyen Client Management Foundation. Two further lines of information will be printed:
ADYEN
Please ensure that your customers are informed that they can expect to see Adyen displayed on their statements.
5.4.4.
For Incasso payments you need a signed mandate from the bank account holder, this is true for both one-of and
recurring Incasso payments.
28 / 67
API Manual
6. Boleto Bancrio
Boleto Bancrio, often simply referred to as Boleto, is an ofine payment method used in Brazil . The consumer will take
the Boleto form to an ATM, bank, an approved facility, or access their online banking system to complete the payment.
Once the Boleto is paid, the bank will send Adyen a fle confrming that the payment was made, this usually takes one day,
but it may occur up to 6 days after the payment. If a Boleto is not paid, the transaction will expire once the expirationDate
is reached.
The payment request will contain the data that is displayed on the Boleto. The billingAddress, deliveryDate and
shopperStatement felds are optional but may be used to customise the Boleto form:
deliveryDate (optional)
This is the date by which the consumer must submit their payment; there aren't any time restrictions on the date
inserted, however, if you do not populate this feld the Adyen system will insert a date 5 days from the creation
date.
shopperStatement (optional)
In this context the feld can be used to provide the consumer with customised instructions for submitting their
payment; if you do not provide this feld, the default text will be displayed:
No receber aps o vencimento.
No aceitar o pagamento com cheque.
This translates to:
Do not accept payment after the due date.
Do not accept payment by cheque.
If you would like to add a line break in the shopper statement, you must use the following code:
SOAP:
"

REST:
"%0A"
socialSecurityNumber (mandatory)
The consumer will need to provide their Cadastro de Pessoas Fsicas (CPF) number.
Please refer to Appendix R and Appendix S for examples of SOAP and REST Boleto requests and responses.
When submitting a Boleto payment, the Adyen system will return a URL to you in the feld boletobancario.url. You may use
this to download the PDF of the Boleto or redirect the consumer to it. This will render the Boleto form that the shopper
must use to complete their payment at an ATM, bank or approved facility. The PDF may be accessed until the
expirationDate, this is the deliveryDate + 15 days, at this time the transaction will expire in the Adyen system.
Please refer to Appendix T for sample Boleto forms.

7. Notifcations
Whenever a payment is made, a modifcation is processed or when a report is available for download, we will notify you
of the event and whether or not it was performed successfully. Notifcations should be used to keep your backofce
systems up to date with the status of each payment and modifcation.
Notifcations are sent using either a SOAP call or using HTTP POST parameters to a server, that you host, that will receive
and accept the notifcations. We provide code examples in common programming languages for this, please refer to the
link in the Introduction. Your system should be able to handle requests/responses which contain additional felds and
duplicate notifcations for the same transaction.
Due to the nature of the Adyen platform, an AUTHORISATION notifcation may be sent twice. The front end systems (HPP)
will attempt to send the notifcation as soon as the payment is made. However our front-end systems do not register if
this notifcation is received successfully by your servers. This is done on a central application and hardware instance
which updates the accounting journal entries for each transaction. This system not only sends at least one notifcation, it
also records whether or not it was successfully received, this is determined by your server responding to the notifcation
with a message indicating that the notifcation has been [accepted]. Please refer to section 7.2 for more details regarding
accepting notifcations.
Notifcations will be resent if their delivery has failed or if the delivery is uncertain. This at-least-once delivery rule implies
that you may receive the same notifcation twice. A duplicate notifcation is one where the eventCode and pspReference
felds are the same (see below). If a duplicate is received with the success feld set to true it overrules the previous
notifcation. In all other cases you do not need to act on duplicate notifcations.
Notifcation settings are confgured in the Adyen CA. You can set the method (HTTP POST/SOAP), URL to submit to, and
user name/password for HTTP Basic authentication. Default HTTP (TCP port 80) and HTTPS (TCP port 443) are allowed, as
well as extra TCP ports 8080, 8888 (for HTTP) and 8443, 8843 (for HTTPS) if needed.
live
boolean (true/false) indicating if the notifcation originated from the LIVE or TEST payment systems.
eventCode
The event type of the notifcation. Values include:
Normal Payment Events
AUTHORISATION.
Modifcation Payment Events
CANCELLATION.
REFUND.
CANCEL_OR_REFUND.
CAPTURE.
REFUNDED_REVERSED.
Please note that the success feld in a REFUNDED_REVERSED notifcation will always be set to false.
CAPTURE_FAILED.
REFUND_FAILED.
Dispute Events
REQUEST_FOR_INFORMATION.
31 / 67
API Manual
NOTIFICATION_OF_CHARGEBACK.
ADVICE_OF_DEBIT.
CHARGEBACK.
CHARGEBACK_REVERSED.
For more information about Disputes please refer to the Merchant Manual.
Please note that the success feld in a CHARGEBACK_REVERSED notifcation will always be set to true.
Other Events
REPORT_AVAILABLE.
For more information please refer to the Adyen Reporting Manual.
For specialised applications, such as recurring payments, other values are possible. Please note, Adyen may add new
codes at any time and, as such, your listening service should not be coded to expect a fxed set of values.
pspReference
The unique reference that Adyen assigned to the payment or modifcation.
originalReference
If this is a notifcation for a modifcation request this will be the pspReference that was originally assigned to the
authorisation, for a payment it will be blank.
merchantReference
This is the reference you assigned to the original payment.
merchantAccountCode
The merchant Account the payment or modifcation was processed with.
eventDate
The time the event was generated.
success
Whether or not the event succeeded (boolean true/false).
paymentMethod
The payment method used, this is only populated for an AUTHORISATION. e.g. visa, mc, ideal, elv, wallie, etc.
operations
This feld displays the modifcation operations supported by this payment as a list of strings, this is only
populated for AUTHORISATION notifcations. The operations will inform you whether you need to capture the
payment (if you don't have auto-capture set up), whether you can cancel the payment (before capture) or if you
can refund the payment (after it has been captured). Values include:
CAPTURE.
REFUND.
CANCEL.
For HTTP POST notifcations, the operations are sent as a single comma-separated string.
reason
Text feld with information depending on whether the result is successful or not. For AUTHORISATION events with
the success feld set to true and a payment method of visa, mc or amex this feld contains the authorisation
code, the last 4 digits of the card, and the expiry date in the following format:
6 digit Authorisation Code:Last 4 digits:Expiry Date. For example, 874574:1935:11/2012.
When the success feld is set to false it gives a reason as to why it was refused. For REPORT_AVAILABLE it contains
the URL where the report can be downloaded from.
amount
The amount, if applicable, associated with the payment or modifcation. This consists of a currencyCode and a
value which is the amount in minor units. For HTTP POST notifcations, you will receive the currency and value as
parameters.
32 / 67
API Manual
For SOAP notifcations a notifcation message is a container for an array of notifcation items, meaning that you may
receive multiple notifcations within a single message. Please refer to Appendix U for a sample SOAP notifcation and
response. Please refer to Appendix V for a sample REST notifcation and response.
Please note that the eventCode AUTHORISATION does not necessarily mean that the authorisation is successful. The
authorisation is successful if the success feld has the value true. In case of an error or a refusal, it will be false and the
reason feld should be consulted for the cause of the authorisation failure.
33 / 67
API Manual
Instead you will receive a SOAP Fault which will contain a description of the problem. Generally this will be handled as an
Exception in your SOAP toolkit. Payment requests which are rejected with a SOAP Fault will not be charged.
If the modifcation was rejected a faultstring is returned that adheres to the following syntax:
<faultstring> ::= <type> ' ' <message>
<type> ::= 'validation' | 'security' | 'confguration' | 'internal'
<message> ::= unicode
SOAP Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>validation 101 Invalid card number</faultstring>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
REST Example:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
security 901 Invalid Merchant Account
The way to check the description this is to read the faultstring. If the payment was rejected by our platform the fault string
will start with one of validation, security, or confguration followed by a code and it's descriptive message.
Please refer to Appendix W for a list of the error codes and messages.
